We Know Founders. Well.

A health service and performance programme, by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs

For over two decades, at CHHP and CIGNA VieLife, we’ve protected, restored, and enhanced the health many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, athletes and execs. We are a team of physicians and scientist optimising physical health, mental health and the performance of leaders - balancing and building stronger, happier humans & teams. 

We’ve launched The WellFounded Programme for startup leadership and VC’s supporting their portfolios worldwide.

  • WellFounded was conceived in 2018 by extreme environments physician and serial healthtech entrepreneur Dr Jack Kreindler - founder of CHHP (The Centre for Health and Human Performance, London) seeing an unmet need for “A new health system for startups - to embed health and human performance science into their company’s very DNA, top down; digital-first provider with the concierge medics, health-span researchers and human performance scientists; dedicated founders, startup CEOs and their teams,” like Dr Jack himself. WellFounded Health Ltd was incorporated in 2022 after 6 years of market research and design of The WellFounded Programme, plus a little delay due to a global viral pandemic.

    The WellFounded Programme for VC’s and portolios’ founders was designed and beta tested from 2019-2022 with our founding VC partner, Mosaic Ventures, and an international team of colleagues - the first of its kind designed well before the longevity and mental health revolutions took off. The Programme comes from a pioneering investor’s true commitment to the health=wealth approach and our 25+ years coaching and treating investors, exec’s and athletes in extreme environments - through to the most challenging clinical cases.

    CURIA Health, HQ’d in London and NYC, is our own concierge medicine and longevity research practice, an exclusive collaboration of CHHP (LON) and MyMD (NYC). CURIA delivers all clinical aspects of The WellFounded Programme worldwide, under a single infrastructure.

    The WellFounded Institute is our research division. Dr Jack and team co-Led the INSPIRE South Pole research expedition and hold honorary fellow positions at Imperial College and UCL in performance science. We fundamentally believe in sharing what we learn for all to benefit, not just our business.

  • WellFounded has been built, ground up, to cohesively address the unmet health needs of founders and those fast-moving humans positively impacting the world. Those leading the innovation economy are, commonly:

    - Burning the candle at three ends

    - Ignoring essential medical maintenance

    - Sleep deprived / jet-lagged

    - Unfit / sedentary / at risk of musculo-skeletal illness and injury

    - Burning out, losing years of quality life and damaging mental health and relationships.


    Yet,  somehow tolerating it all.

    We are founders too. We know what you’re facing.

  • WellFounded Health is a digital-first, tech-enabled health & performance science service provider. We are far from being a soulless AI health tech startup. So, to end with a question, like every good chat bot would: Who are we?

    We are an expert team of physician-entrepreneurs, health experts and performance coaches marrying technology and humans to enable remote testing and monitoring, lightning-fast research and comms, instant scheduling and slick operations wherever in the world you are.

    We know, firsthand, that health and wellness of founders can’t be served by AI alone. That said, granting superpowers to our experts and patients has revolutionized the way we work and the value we provide at less cost to everyone. A model for the future of our profession. And who better than the tech-startup world to be the first to use it?

What our founders and clients say…

“It's given me much more mental calmness and a focus on high performance but without too much time constraints. It's helped me resolve some core and very serious issues that I was dealing with.”

“[The] sleep specialist at CHHP [WellFounded’s performance lab in London] fundamentally changed my relationship to and understanding of sleep.

“I was one of the early users of the WellFounded programme, and as a startup CEO found it to be highly valuable. Being able to monitor my data and have it interpreted by an expert was great. The second feature that was important to my journey was the emotional support from my coach. Quant and Qual, emotional and physical - a very good experience!

“It's a great initiative, addressing one of the biggest founder challenges - wellbeing, burn-out, keeping the mojo and energy going while one goes through the scaling roller-coaster. Too many startup coaches and mentors out there that either add very little value or are disconnected and only address a tiny part that is important for a founder. You're finally approaching it in a holistic way - putting one's health and wellbeing at the centre.

“The WellFounded programme made a transformative impact in my physical and mental health, enabling me to reach much higher levels of performance and well-being - I highly recommend it for all entrepreneurs!

“I enjoyed the WellFounded programme, it is tailored made and based on your specific needs as a founder. I would definitely recommend other founders to start the programme. It gave me lots of insights and suitable tweeks in my founder's life and personal wellbeing. The program has been transformational for me really. Having a holistic approach to wellbeing, general health, performance and, importantly, 'resilience building', is one of the best investments one could make.

“Overall, I quite like the overall approach and the fact [The team] have been very flexible to focus on my needs and we have identified the key points for me to work on. So I am definitely seeing impact and making progress.

“My experience of the WellFounded programme was really positive. I got to spend quality time with some amazing people, at the very top of their fields. I came out with a holistic view of my performance and wellbeing, and clarity about where to take care and where to double down.
